No objection to merging this PR as is, but how about we extend the
deprecation to QMP too ?
I was responsible for adding this option back in 2010 and I don't
think I've used it since 2012 when I added pretty printing support
to scripts/qmp/qmp-shell. I struggle to imagine good reasons for
using QMP directly with pretty printing, as opposed to doing it
via qmp-shell or another wrapper tool.
Regards,
Daniel
